tegra 3

Update: The folks at VectorUnit got in touch with us and filled in some details about this one. While what you're seeing is the same app that is used for the Tegra 3 version, it's not really the same game. Rather than have two distinct apps, they've rolled up the Tegra 3 enhanced version and the "normal" version into one application file. That's why it plays so well, and that's why it looks so...

What better way to kick off the launch of what's bound to be one of the years best games for Android? How about NVIDIA, Phosphor Games, and AC getting together to give away a pair of Tegra 3 powered beasts! Dark Meadow: The Pact is a mind-blowing adventure and we're excited to help two of you guys or gals get a chance to find out for yourselves. The prizes --
An ASUS Transformer Prime plus...

Admit it. Part of the reason you bought a Tegra 3 powered Android device is because of the gaming. We're all friends here, and I'll be the first to stand up and say that I get into some gaming on my Transformer Prime. It's easy to do when Tegra optimized games kick enough ass to fill a wheelbarrow, and here's one that does. I'm talking about Phosphor Games new title Dark Meadow: The Pact, and it...

HTC continues to branch out. After being a Qualcomm-centric handset maker they decided to source SoC's from more than one source, deciding to go with nVidia's Tegra 3 for the international version of the One X. Well it looks like HTC is looking to take the next logical step and create an SoC of their own. Only this isn't for their flagship phones. It's for the mid and low-end devices, which...

A couple of things to remember when you're looking at this slide of projected mobile graphics performance, which NVIDIA showed us Thursday at HTC's Frequencies meetings in Seattle and has been making the rounds.
The slide was being used to illustrate just how far mobile graphics (OK, Tegra) has come in a relatively short amount of time.
And, yes, ZMOG! Tegra will be as powerful as the...

See that beautiful display? It can come out of the phone, but it's not something you'd want to do to yourself. XDA China ​has posted instructions on how to disassemble the HTC One X. It's not for the faint of heart, and the translation isn't perfect, but it's there for those of us that care about such things.
For someone like me (a self-professed hardware junkie) this is extremely interesting...

Toshiba was here in New York tonight showing off some of its finest new technology, including its upcoming Excite line of tablets. Though we already got a look at the tablets at this year's Mobile World Congress, it's always fun for us to revisit upcoming devices. All three models were on hand tonight- the 7.7-inch, the 10-inch, and the behemoth 13.3-inch. All three are packing a Tegra 3...

Acer has quietly made the Iconia Tab A510 available for immediate sale and shipping from their website this evening, ending what felt like the world's longest pre-order phase. $450 will get you 10.1-inches of Tegra 3-powered, Ice Cream Sandwich packing, 32GB storage toting Android tablet, and that's something to make any of us look long and hard.
The current model is the special Olympic edition...

We all want a battery that lasts days between charges while we use the heck out of it, but common sense tells us that's just never going to happen. Battery tech is slowing getting better, while screens get bigger and brighter, and networks get faster and use more juice. Other internals like chipsets and processors help in the battery life department, but it's pretty much a given that if you use...

Android's Instagram app just got an update. Included in the fixes -- among blanket better support for Tegra 3 devices -- is specific support the the HTC One X. So there's that. Here's the full changelog in Version 1.0.4:
Bug fixes for tablet users
Location for photo geotag is updated more often
Fixed Instagram photos not appearing in gallery
Better support for Nvidia Tegra 3...

We usually don't worry too awful much about the various people importing and hawking unlocked phones on the Internet, but sometimes things just need passed along. The deals site Daily Steals has the unlocked, Tegra 3 version of the HTC One X up for sale, and if you want to part with $630, you can get your hands on the world version. We're not going to get in the middle of the debate over which...

Don't call it a comeback. HTC certainly was in the running for King of Mobile World Congress 2012 (an award that would be way cooler if it existed) with the new HTC One line, and the HTC One X specifically. When you stop and think about it, however, it's also a logical progression.
HTC started 2011 with the eventually disappointing Verizon ThunderBolt, which was thick, heavy and a battery hog —...

Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang said in a recent interview that their recent cost reductions on the Tegra 3 processor will enable manufacturers to launch Android tablets with $199 pricetags, and that we'll see them as soon as this summer. As Huang explains, this can seriously lower the barrier for entry.
“We took out $150 in build materials, things like expensive memory. At $199, you can just about...

We've all seen the HTC One X with the Tegra 3 processor inside, and we've seen the AT&T version with the Snapdragon S4 inside. What about the One XL? We heard HTC talk about it a little bit, but what exactly is it? The easy answer is that it's the AT&T One X without the AT&T branding. HTC has two different version of the unlocked One X then, one with the Tegra 3 and one with the...

The AT&T version of the HTC One X has been hitting the benchmark apps the past couple of days, and a friend of a friend of a friend was kind enough to send in a few results. On Sunday we saw a few benchmark results from our forums appear, and with one of them, the Vellamo browser benchmark, being built by Qualcomm there was some speculation that it would naturally score higher. We have to...

Thanks to forum member ​Phonegeek ​we're getting a pretty decent idea of what the AT&T One X with the Snapdragon S4 is capable of. he usual caveats apply, though, this is early hardware and software that is close to final, but not exactly final. With that out of the way we can see that Qualcomm has something good on their hands with the S4 Krait processor. The One X handily outperforms the...

You might have heard we were having a little contest of sorts, where we got together with NVIDIA and gave away not one, not two, but three ASUS Transformer Prime tablets, complete with the keyboard docks. We picked out the three winners, and here they are:
MA2GA28
Th1nkbot
+Shaun McCloud
Congrats winners! Be sure to keep an eye on your inboxes for information, and be sure to try...

Fun fact about Apple events: You see a lot of clean slides and graphs and charts and stuff. Often, they're too clean. At Wednesday's iPad event, Apple claimed its A5X processor performs four times better than NVIDIA's quad-core Tegra 3 processor when it comes to graphics.
And that's all it said. No real numbers, no benchmarks, nothing, a point that NVIDIA noted in talking to ZDNet.
This isn't...

Our cousins at iMore.com have been killing the iPad (3/HD/new) coverage today. The long and short of it is you've got more powerful iPad with a killer resolution, and a bunch of other cool stuff thrown in. You can't deny that it's still the tablet to beat, even though we're certainly bigger fans of the Android OS.
Anyhoo. The iMore kids worked up a comparison chart so you can get your specs on...

Fujitsu is excited about its newest Android phone -- which we first heard as a faint whisper -- and rightfully so. It's got a beautiful high-resolution 4.6-inch LCD display and is running Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. Plus it's got an external antenna, which always excites those of us from North America.
But the feature -- pair of features, actually -- that you really need to pay attention to...
